Core scanning and characterisation

ALS integrates industry leading tools and technology to provide more comprehensive core scale understanding of the reservoir. This approach allows for more sophisticated subsampling strategies and better macro to micro integration.

ALS’ helical CT scanner is a non-destructive tool that uses powerful x-ray photons to create a 3D model of a sample. Data acquisition can be undertaken on whole core, slabbed core, and plug samples, regardless of preservation.

ALS’ Hyperspectral Imaging is a non-destructive analytical technique that uses a combination of short-wave infrared light (SWIR) and long-wave infrared light (LWIR) to produce a visual 'map' of the minerals in a core.
